Dear fellow AntiFa members (secret handshake): In the face of the government shut-down, do you think our direct deposits of the Soros payments will be delayed? Also, with Trump appointing Bigsinano CEO of IRS, can we still write off dry cleaning bills for our black terrorist outfits?

White privileged meaningless complaint of the day: I love being in queue at a coffee joint, being in a slight hurry, and the person in front of me takes out an order list for their office.

I just canceled my subscription to Disney+/Hulu. Please consider doing the same. It’s easy.

George Orwell is starting to look smarter than Einstein or Hawking. Bookstores and libraries should be moving his books into the non-fiction section.

Honestly, has anyone EVER gotten more than one use out of their Super/Crazy/Gorilla glue before having to throw it out because it’s gone cement hard?

Today, I got both my flu shot and my Covid booster. I asked the nurse practitioner if she could tattoo "F*ck Trump" over one, and "F*ck RFK, Jr." over the other. She softly shook her head and said, "Don't get me started."

Am I the only one to whom the word “creatives” has the same effect as scratching one’s nails on a chalkboard?

I just re-watched "It Happened One Night" on tcmtv.bsky.social‬. Just possibly a perfect movie. Who would have guessed that the "first" rom-com would remain one of the very best, setting the standard for everything that's followed for the next 90 years?

Some people think that if just one person had bought a painting from a young Adolf Hitler, history might have changed. I often wonder what would have happened if there were just one girl in high school or college who hadn’t rejected Stephen Miller.
